System: The Electric State RPG by Free League Publishing
About the System: A haunting, alternate 1990s where decaying neurotechnology, broken governments, and lost memories collide. Based on the artwork of Simon Stålenhag, this system is designed for atmospheric, emotionally driven storytelling with a focus on survival, identity, and human connection in a world slowly dissolving into digital decay.
Series Synopsis: Set in The Electric State, Operation Firewall follows a team of covert operatives, hackers, and insiders working for the Southern Republic’s NSED. Their mission: infiltrate Happy Cool’s neurotech project, uncover the hidden dangers of neural implants, and shut it down before it consumes a generation.
As the line between reality and simulation blurs, they’ll face high-stakes decisions, moral dilemmas, and the crushing weight of corporate control. Expect deep roleplay, thematic tension, and emotional fallout.
